Analyst Interview - Generalist
It is very important to check their website since they post all they do there and you can also see the recent deals they closed by office and in which particular sectors is every employee focused on.

Associate Interview - Mergers and Acquisitions
Investment Banking Analyst Interview - Generalist
30 minute 4 on 1 Skype technical/behavioral interview including valuation, accounting, and brain teaser questions (90% technical interview).
2. Relatively simple accounting questions -- e.g. Is accounts receivable a source or use of cash on the Cash Flow Statement? Walk us through how you came to that answer.
3. Did not ask typical, high-level valuation questions like "What are the main valuation methodologies?" or "Which methodologies give you the highest valuation?" Instead they were specific questions about minor DCF components. Should not be too difficult if you study the WSO interview guide. One example was "Explain the difference between levered and unlevered FCF within a DCF. When would you use each and how do the formulas differ?" Also asked about how to unlever and relever Beta within CAPM when deriving Cost of Equity.
*I was probably asked 12 different technical questions over the 35 minute interview. I would say about 10 of them came verbatim from WSO interview guides. Just be prepared to explain or reasoning in more detail than what is typically provided in prep material*
